The Venezuelan shot-stopper denied County with a string of fine saves, tipping Lee Hughes's downward header over the bar in first-half injury time, as well as blocking stinging effort from Luke Rodgers and Matt Ritchie after the break.[LNB]The Magpies, who stretched their unbeaten run to 11 games, also had Hughes's deft header from a corner cleared off the line by Scott Donnelly after 74 minutes and substitute Craig Westcarr went close late on.[LNB]Despite defending for long periods the Shots could have broken the deadlock themselves after 40 minutes but Donnelly was thwarted by Kasper Schmeichel, steering his low drive round the post.[LNB]And the visitors' counter-attacking rampages in the closing stages created a thrilling finale.[LNB]Aldershot's powerhouse striker Marvin Morgan twice went close, seeing a header whistle past the upright, and his drive fizz across the goal-line after out-muscling Jamie Clapham.[LNB][LNB]
